Guess I need to order your Mavic catalog. I know there was lots of Mavic stuff on both sides of the 1983 cutoff, but I've never been clear of the exact years. So were any Shimano indexed shifters in production in 1983? What about the original Look pedals?

CR cutoff date 1983. Mavic 840 rear derailleur (indexing) introduced very late in 1989 at the year end trade shows. Six years off topic.
